How do you deal?

How do you deal with being inundated with religious suggestions, comments and dialogue on a daily basis?

I feel like since I finally identified myself as an atheist, I've seen countless facebook statuses/comments, forum posts, instagram pics etc full of religious passages or suggestions to "Praise Jesus/Allah" or have "God" in your life. I can't even read a self-help article without some reference to a bible scripture or assertion to have a relationship with "God".

And christmas becomes the funniest time of year...Special holiday music channels appear on my TV, decorating cookies becomes so very important, the maddening shopping crush begins, I feel like a living ATM. Santa knows what I am thinking. HoHoHo.

Ballistic jelly is of course used to show how well a hollowpoint bullet opens--and how far it travels--when it hits flesh. In other words it's supposed to be about the same as flesh as far as its physical properties go. So one would hope gawd is instead made of Kevlar.

I've had many conversations with him, all to no avail. He is 40+ years old, and deeply rooted into his church and the community. The description I often use of him for people who do not know him is a Mexican Ned Flanders.

I get to take a walk with my puppies. Putter in my shop and listen to NPR. Find a hard problem to work on that can drive all the crazy back. Purposely not listen to the religious TV channels! Write funny responses to TA. Its not all the hard actually....
